Title: Palace
Author: Jang Shinyoung
Genre: Fantasy, Historical
About Main Characters
Lee Won (Emperor, handsome, nice, obsessive, regret)
Yu Hyun (beautiful, concubine, weak, smart, prince)
Summary:
Yu Hyun reincarnated after getting killed. He has the memory of his previous life. He wanted to reborn into a totally different household than his previous life, but that didn't happen. In his previous life, he was the second son from a second wife. His family owned a huge company, and his mother was ambitious to make her son get the CEO position. But he gets killed by the assassin hired by his older brother.
Hyun's life right now wasn't that different. He was born as a concubine's son in Ye Kingdom, but his mother got kicked out from trying to kill the Queen. He tried to live a quiet life because he regretted what he did in his previous life. He was raised in the palace, but he was very poor and weak. People neglected him except for his nanny. One day the King (Queen's eldest son. Hyun's eldest brother) calls him saying he needs to go to Kuem Empire. The Kuem Empire asked for the previous king's child (they meant their princess but...), but since Hyun is also the previous King's child, he gets sent away. He somehow survives and lives quietly line the imperial palace. Lee Won, the Emperor, forgets about him for 2 years.
2 years later. They accidentally meet, but Won doesn't recognize him. Won thought Hyun was some kind of prostitute, so he was trying to rape him. Hyun used his emergency tactic and ran away. Won searches everywhere to find this butterfly, but the beacon doesn't shine on its own base. (Means he can't see the closest place.) The butterfly he was looking for was in his imperial palace this whole time...
(Drama CD from Yehe)
So they have this in CD!
Can't find the trailer...
So this story is NOT like Yeho!! Totally different! This novel has many side stories.
So Won orders his eunuch to give Hyun plenty of food and money, but the order didn't get pass down well... Hyun had to live poor again... But this time he had many mouth to feed like his servants. So he decided to go out of the palace. He made a contract with a big merchant if he helps him with his business, he gets the partial of the profit. With that money they were able to live plenty. He was living like that for 2 years, and Won totally forgot about Hyun. One day Won was playing a "game." This game is when nobles get prostitutes and spread them in a forest and catch them and have sex with them. This game was happening in the imperial palace, and Hyun didn't know that. He went inside the forest and caught Won's eye. Won was about to rape him, but he carries around binyeo that hides a needle with somnifacient drug in it. He stabs that in him and runs away. Won was mad at first, but he couldn't forget about his white butterfly that flew away. He looked everywhere to find him, but he didn't know Hyun was that weak boy 2 years ago.
*binyeo is a long hairpin that decorates and stabilizes the hair
many different kinds
ONE of the ways to wear this hairpin binyeo. This is from a historical setting Korean drama... I don't know the name.. This is the traditional way to wear it, and there are some casual wear that people do.
I love this accessory! One of my favorite! so pretty...

Aww. i love BL with historical theme.
ReplyDeleteI hope someday you will translate this novel too

I love historical theme too! But I'm not sure if I should translate this...
DeleteYou must translate it ...hehege....i love historicall story too
DeleteOh a lot of people have the same wish eh...
DeleteHopefully someday you'll change your mind but before that i wish you'll stay focus on finishing your current project (Kill The Light) before you start on another novel.
you have to translate this novel. i like the story.
DeleteSeems interesting...
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting!! One of my favorite novel!
DeleteThis story sounds really interesting ! I am really so sad to not be able to read korean language. Do you intend to translate it one day ?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure... The historical settings are always hard for me to translate... Yeho is pretty easy because they don't really use ancient words, but this story is little different...
DeleteOh, that sounds pretty interesting and now I want to know more. I'm always a sucker for historical BL theme so I really hope you consider translating this novel after Yeho. As for ancient words, you could translate as you understand, you know. It doesn't have to be word by word since it's just us humble BL fans. lol XD
ReplyDeleteXD I'll think about it!
DeleteThat "human hunting", was that really happend in the past? That was mean
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it really happened... but he's the Emperor. What can he not do? He can do whatever he wants, and I'm pretty sure other kings in the history were like that too. BTW they call it a "game" not human hunting. My mistake~
Deletethe story sound interesting ~ ena
ReplyDeleteThis novel seems really interesting is a pity that it is difficult to translate
ReplyDeleteIt seems interesting, because I like historical genes more, so I hope you you might change your mind.
